Ark Data Centres Partnership
A Decade of Collaboration
Since 2011, BladeRoom has been the exclusive construction partner for Ark Data Centres, delivering some of the most energy-efficient and resilient facilities in the world. Together, we’ve completed 110 BladeRooms, providing a total capacity of 177MW. These data centres have logged over 10 million hours of live operation, showcasing their exceptional reliability and performance.
Our collaboration began with the construction of a 1.5MW data centre at Ark’s Spring Park campus, marking the start of a partnership built on innovation and excellence. With our latest agreement extending through 2028, we’re proud to continue supporting Ark’s mission to provide world-class data centre solutions for its clients.
About Ark Data Centres
Ark Data Centres specialises in the design, construction, and operation of high-integrity data centres, delivering superior security, reliability, and sustainability. By powering their facilities with 100% renewable energy from natural sources, Ark enables businesses to operate efficiently while supporting their environmental objectives.
Ark’s mission is to industrialise the data centre market, moving away from costly, bespoke builds in favour of standardised, high-quality, off-site manufactured solutions. By adopting BladeRoom’s advanced construction methods, Ark ensures exceptional performance, reduced costs, and faster delivery for its clients.
In 2021, Ark joined the Climate Neutral Data Centre Pact, committing to making data centre operations climate neutral by 2030. This initiative supports the European Green Deal’s goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, reflecting Ark’s leadership in the fight against climate change.
A Shared Vision for Excellence
The exclusive partnership between BladeRoom and Ark is built on a shared commitment to innovation, quality, and sustainability. BladeRoom’s advanced off-site construction approach aligns perfectly with Ark’s focus on delivering state-of-the-art facilities. Together, we set the standard for energy-efficient and operationally robust data centres that meet the demands of today’s digital economy.
Looking Ahead
As the demand for sustainable, high-performance data centres grows, BladeRoom and Ark remain at the forefront of innovation. By combining Ark’s operational expertise with BladeRoom’s advanced construction methodologies, we will continue to deliver world-class solutions that meet the evolving needs of businesses in today’s fast-paced digital economy.

“We have worked in exclusive partnership with Ark for ten years, forming an extremely strong bond along the way. We are very like-minded businesses with the same agenda – to constantly develop a better solution for clients, not just in terms of sustainability, but a premium quality product. The world has an enormous reliance on data centres by the way people and businesses move and operate, with that trend ever growing. Extending our exclusive partnership signifies our joint commitment to a solution, creating a more sustainable digital future by providing the highest quality and most sustainable data centres available. I am immensely proud of what we have achieved together and look forward with anticipation to our upcoming projects.”
Huw Owen, Chief Executive, Ark Data Centres
“Our BladeRoom relationship epitomises the dovetailed engagement that Ark enjoys with key alliance partners. Together we share the relentless pursuit of excellence, common cultures, social values, and teams absolutely committed to delivering an exceptional customer experience. Working together since 2011, we developed a highly efficient data centre construction methodology with the bulk of the work completed off-site. This approach enables us to rapidly assemble and deliver quality-assured, pre-tested products complete with electronic security, monitoring, bus-bar electrical distribution, clean earth, fire suppression, and cable containment, ready for racks to roll in for a ‘plug and play’ fit-out. In short, we deliver fully integrated data centres with the lowest carbon emissions more efficiently than any of our competitors while simultaneously reducing build time and minimising waste.”
